I guess the JFK promo trial was successful. Not sure why AS (or BofA) would be pushing it. The AL won't sell day passes when the Priority Pass sign is out.

I'd swear I paid $40 or $45 just a couple months ago...
The last time I got in (at LAX... which I made a thread about, lol) was as a revenue F pax.
And while I don't think I'd pay $50 to get into the lounges, now that I've seen them, $25 could be more palatable if I found myself stuck on a six-hour layover.

Remember it doesn't make sense for them to drop PP the way they were doing it -- they were taking people only on a space available basis, and then to do the cut right at the start of the off-peak travel season. Clearly if they're discounting, they want to replace that lost revenue somehow.

As was previously mentioned, when they have the no Priority Pass sign out, they also don't sell day passes so it really is a moot point how much the day passes sell for because Alaska Lounges like LAX and PDX typically have the sign out for most of the day/night. I suspect the Alaska Lounges in SEA have already ordered their "No Day Passes" signs so expect to see them soon...lol.

Good catch! Yes, it was $45. I'd say it changed in the last couple of days because Google's preview cache still says $45 for the AS day pass page.

I remember they were offering a 3 year membership which is now gone. It was something around $950 for new MVP 3 year membership. Other membership rates seem to be the same.

Totally agree with this. Makes more sense to keep AmEx Plat than purchase AS Lounge membership , even with MVP pricing. It has gone up quite a bit.

Maybe pop my nose in and make the call to buy when I'm exSEA for Thanksgiving to see if its a bigger zoo inside or outside. But that's about the only scenario for me.
Business travelers who may expense it seem like another another target.

Sigh ... so, gone are the three year renewals, and now the same price for New or renewing Golds, so no advantage for long term membership. Meanwhile, still no lounge in their “second home” of SFO.
One of these days I’ll figure out Alaska’s strategy for success, but it’s not obvious now. My bet is there’s a credit card / lounge tie in in the works.

No, a single day pass may not be used at two lounges, if you strictly interpret the above rule.
